I hope to get down to Ouray a few times, especially for the world famous ice fest!... ]]> Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:53:00 -0400 12201 2011-10-24 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_eldo_1319486015.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12064-september-is-always-a-good-month-for-climbing-jon-cardwell http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12064-september-is-always-a-good-month-for-climbing-jon-cardwell In Colorado the seasons change drastically from sweltering heat and daily thunderstorms to dry, crisp, and cool conditions.

I have been spending the last 4 weeks in Fort Collins and Boulder CO meeting new people, climbing, visiting friends and seeing as much as possible.
